Creative gardeners show off their talents as you view their creativity around their
homes. There are four ponds that attract beavers, muskrat,birds and other wildlife.
These are also used for skating in the winter. Some for hockey games
and others for younger children and adventurous adults. For the walkers and athletes
there is a route to go around the Loop, as we call it, that
has a distance of 3 km.approx. This route takes you down the
Shore Road, up through Denton Road, down route 217 and back
to the Little River Trading, to where you started.
Several businesses are located in Little River.
The" LITTLE RIVER TRADING COMPANY LTD." is the local store. It supplies the
many needs of this community and others round about, having a large variety
of products whether it be for groceries, personal needs, fishermen needs or
boat supplies.This store has been here for over 70 years.
Be sure to take a stroll down to the wharves in summer and bring
a fishing line. Many experience the enjoyment of catching mackeral or
pollock. What a great way to get acquainted with folks and share some
stories.
The local fish plants are " SCOTIA FISHERIES LTD. "-(Robicheau & Sons)
and "OCEAN TRAWLERS LTD."(-Fred Trask) .
These plants work as much as they can through the year.
Lobsters & fish can be purchased here with friendly prompt service.
A lobster pound nearby " Fishermans Market "has lobsters available for sale.
There is a small"Llama Farm" along Route 217, owned by Gary & Marlene Trask
attract visitors. The llamas live in a safe environment here. One can have the pleasure
of feeding them and petting them at the same time.Watch out
for spitting..they are known to do this if anxious.
There is one church in Little River, the" LITTLE RIVER UNITED BAPTIST CHURCH".
Services are held every Sunday as well as Sunday School for children.
If you'd like to see a panoramic view of Little River village and St. Marys Bay
you only need to travel up Tommys Branch road to the top of the mountain,
park in the parking lot there then stroll along the trail to " OTTOVIEW Look-Off ".
There are picnic tables, kids play area, and a couple privately owned cabins along
with other interesting features along the trail and at the look-off. Check for
hours of availablity at the entryway. You will enjoy your visit here.

the area to the public with the only exception being when we are
using the cabins.
